Who's ready of Survivor Triple H? It's right around the corner and it is time to get excited. After this season of Big Brother, it is going to be very refreshing to get some new blood on our screens that hopefully will call for some very strategic yet dramatic television. We are going to start off with two people from the Heroes tribe. Monday-Friday there will be a new post highlighting their strengths and weaknesses. This carry on all the way up to the premiere so stay tuned!
Alan Ball, 31, NFL Player Well I'll give Mr. Ball one thing, he knows his weaknesses. However, will he be able to deal with those weaknesses in an effective way. In his bio, he talks about he can't stand when people don't pick up after themselves and that he gets cranky when he is hungry. As a former NFL player who still looks to be in pretty decent shape, this guy is most likely used to eating more than the average human being. Now he is going to be on an island with 17 other strangers who are most likely average. See the conflict here? As far as people not picking up after themselves, get used to it buddy. All Survivor is is one big 39 day mess. There is no doubt that Alan is going to be a physical force to be reckoned with, however it seems like he has never seen the show before based in his bio. There probably will be no way he can tone down his physical attributes and that is going to create a target on his back. His NFL experience probably won't hurt him because he was not a particularly famous player when he played. The first endurance competition or the first competition around the merge will probably be his downfall, but early on he will be a major player for the Heroes Tribe. Prediction: Merge
Ben Driebergen, 34, Marine Right off the bat, Ben seems like a pretty great guy. It sounds like he has seen and experienced a lot of things in his life. He seems very genuine and just very cool. He looks like he might have it all. He is a former marine so he is going to be physical and he will have the mental toughness to get through it. His survival skills will probably be pretty good as well. He doesn't like whiners, which will inevetiably happen on Survivor in the first few days. This guy says he is a combination of Russell Hantz, Boston Rob, and Joey Amazing. Ben doesn't need to play like Russell though. He seems like he has enough charm and wit to get by on his own. Boston Rob might be more of his speed. There is one big red flag for Ben though. His military experience. Not saying it is a bad thing, but in Survivor it could complicate things. This could cause him to start bossing people around and taking control of the camp. People won't take to kindly to that. He also needs to not say anything about him carrying around his buddies dog tags either. People will start to see this as a threat for jury votes at the end of the game. He just needs to be himself, compete well, and form relationships. Prediction: Merge
